What are the steps to access rebated sessions?
As everyone's mental health journey is different, it is up to you to keep track of your mental Health Plan and make sure it is up to date to access your rebates. To help make this easy as possible, here are the steps to rebated sessions
​
Your referral will not provide access to all 10 eligible sessions at once. You or your child will have regular referral check-ins with your GP to top up for plan and check in on your progress. This pathway looks like this.
To access Medicare rebates,
you will need to have
a valid Medicare card.
​
You will also need to get
-
A referral letter and a
-
Mental Health Plan from your usual GP before you attend your session to access Medicare rebates.​​​
​
You can schedule your session with SherryB Psychology now.
Just make sure your
Mental Health Plan appointment
with your usual GP
is completed
ahead of your first session.
​
Can I use my Mental Health Care Plan to see a different psychologist?
You can choose your own Psychologist
YES you can.
​
Mental Health Care Plans are transferrable.
If your current Mental Health Care Plan was issued with the name of a clinic or psychologist different to the one you wish to see, that is OK.
Alternatively, you can ask your GP to reissue your referral with your new psychologist’s name
